Terrazas

EDUARDO TERRAZAS

BORN Guadalajara, Mexico, 1936
LIVES&WORKS Mexico City

Eduardo Terrazas’ career is characterized by fifty years of dedication to the fields of architecture, design, museology, urban planning and art. As a young architect in 1968, he was chosen as co-designer of the logo of the Mexico City Olympic Games: a layout of concentric circles inspired by Huichol craftsmanship which created a precedent for the geometric shapes that would define his visual language. Terrazas favours the Huichol yarn technique not only for its aesthetic properties, but also for its laborious creation, which requires absorption in the act and therefore meditation within the process.
